Why exactly did Magneto agree to this? Did Newspaper logic hit that hard or did the situation change somewhere from "I have Spider-Man completely at my mercy and am about to take his powers to create super mutants!" before he agreed to a draw?

Here's the last part of that story, but basically Spidey beat him through the power of questionable comic book science, and then Magneto pointed out "how exactly do you expect to keep me locked up?"

Which is actually more reasonable than I remembered, especially since in this story Spidey doesn't know other mutants exist, so he can't just ask Professor X what to do.

Y'know ignoring the whole "Magnets how do they work" thing, I'm surprised more writers haven't tried to use this logic.

they say magnetism, but it is always written as telekinesis that only works on metal.

Vote shit sandwich or the shit sandwich gets it!
In the Fox X-Men movies it's explicitly not magnetism, but control of metal. They even say it out loud a couple times.

He doesn't. If Aunt May weren't there, he wouldn't give a flying gently caress about the collateral damage.

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

With the way MJ is talking... I think they really might be doing "There's no such thing as Tyrannus, it's all an elaborate ruse from Mole Man to get in Aunt May's pants".

I feel like this comic can't get goofier, and then we get Scorpion's back story condensed into a few panels.

Then again 'want to become a scorpion?' 'Lol sure' might be his backstory in mainstream comics too

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
You're... you're wearing a disguise. A disguise is what you're wearing. The whole point of a disguise is that nobody knows what you look like when you're not wearing it. You can just take it off.

Is it just me or is that middle panel surprisingly competently composed? The way he goes from 'looking up at May' in the first panel to staring dejectedly downward (away from her and toward his death), the destroyed surface objects mutely reinforcing his argument about Tyrannus' plans... It's hard to believe it's the same artist.

I'd like just one time to have someone continue asking reasonable questions whenever something inexplicable happens

"Why did that work on Lenny? He's following his own scent"
"Ahhh you see they have notoriously poor eyesight"
"Yeah but hes chasing a piece of his skin, shouldn't he be immune to his own scent"
"Ahhh you see but they also have notoriously poor olfactory senses"
"Then he wouldn't smell anything at all."
"Look man what do you want here, it worked didn't it"
"I feel like if I'm going to fight this creature I should know why it's doing something"
"IT'S REALLY, REALLY STUPID. Happy?!?"
"Yeah but then why would it bother attacking the surface world at all, why wouldn't it be in a cave chasing its own tail"
"gently caress you spiderman"
